Ghana could become the fourth biggest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa by 2020 once two new offshore fields come on stream. The WestAfrican country is currently ranked at the ninth, producing around 103,000 barrels per day. This is far behind Nigeria and Angola, which produce an average of 1.867 million and 1.754 million respectively. Ghana's Tweneboa field came on stream in August and is expected to increase output to 80,000 barrels per day. The Jubilee field, which started producing oil in 2010, could bounce back to production of around 115,000 barrels. At the same time, the Sankofa field is due to open in August 2017 and should produce around 30,000 barrels.

Offshore drilling

Offshore drilling is a mechanical process where a wellbore is drilled below the seabed. It is typically carried out in order to explore for and subsequently extract petroleum which lies in rock formations beneath the seabed. Most commonly, the term is used to describe drilling activities on the continental shelf, though the term can also be applied to drilling in lakes, inshore waters and inland seas.

Offshore drilling presents environmental challenges, both from the produced hydrocarbons and the materials used during the drilling operation. Controversies include the ongoing US offshore drilling debate.

There are many different types of facilities from which offshore drilling operations take place. These include bottom founded drilling rigs (jackup barges and swamp barges), combined drilling and production facilities either bottom founded or floating platforms, and deepwater mobile offshore drilling units (MODU) including semi-submersibles and drillships. These are capable of operating in water depths up to 3,000 metres (9,800ft). In shallower waters the mobile units are anchored to the seabed, however in deeper water (more than 1,500 metres (4,900ft) the semisubmersibles or drillships are maintained at the required drilling location using dynamic positioning.

South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.

History

The history of West Africa can be divided into five major periods: first, its prehistory, in which the first human settlers arrived, developed agriculture, and made contact with peoples to the north; the second, the Iron Age empires that consolidated both intra-African, and extra-African trade, and developed centralized states; third, Major polities flourished, which would undergo an extensive history of contact with non-Africans; fourth, the colonial period, in which Great Britain and France controlled nearly the whole of the region; fifth, the post-independence era, in which the current nations were formed.

Ghana could become Africa's 4th biggest oil producer by 2020

Ghana could become the fourth biggest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa by 2020 once two new offshore fields come on stream. The WestAfrican country is currently ranked at the ninth, producing around 103,000 barrels per day. This is far behind Nigeria and Angola, which produce an average of 1.867 million and 1.754 million respectively. Ghana's Tweneboa field came on stream in August and is expected to increase output to 80,000 barrels per day. The Jubilee field, which started producing oil in 2010, could bounce back to production of around 115,000 barrels. At the same time, the Sankofa field is due to open in August 2017 and should produce around 30,000 barrels.

Africa New Energies aiming for drilling in early 2016

Privately-ownedAfrica New Energies hopes to start drilling on its two oil and gas blocks onshore Namibia by the beginning of 2016. However, as chief executive Stephen Larkin and international exploration adviser Peter Hutchison explain, there is plenty of work to do before that point. The pair talk investors through the decision to remain private for the meantime and how they plan to raise funds to derisk the blocks without access to traditional funding means.

Ensco DS-3 Drill Ship Oil Drilling

Saturday, ‎November ‎10, ‎2012, ‏‎5:59:32 PM. Out at sea on the F/VQueensland.This trip was about 9 days dock to dock and we fished for 5 of the days. We are fishing for yellowfin and big eye tuna using greenstick gear. The vessel is a volunteer vessel in a scientific study looking at the cost associated with transitioning from longline fishing to other fishing methods. Fishing methods such as greenstick fishing for tuna and buoy fishing for swordfish have proven in many circumstances to more effectively target intended catch and have could potentially have better survival rates when released.
Regardless of your views on drilling for oil in the ocean and what not I was amazed by this machine. It is just incredible what humans are able to accomplish.
